ZDDC 0d7feb3468 fix(browse,server): sync .zddc lint keys, viewable schema pill, accurate virtual-source text
Three .zddc previewer fixes reported against the browse YAML editor:

- Lint no longer flags valid keys. browse/js/preview-yaml.js TOP_KEYS had
  drifted from the Go decoder (zddc/internal/zddc/file.go): party_source,
  history, history_globs, records, auto_own_roles, received_path,
  planned_response_date, planned_review_date, field_codes were all reported
  as "unknown key". Add them with appropriate type tags plus an 'object'
  case in checkValue for the free-form maps (records, field_codes).

- The ".zddc schema" pill is now clickable (↗) — opens the canonical JSON
  Schema the lint mirrors at /.api/zddc-schema (no-auth, read-only).

- The synthetic virtual-.zddc header comment named an internal source path
  (internal/zddc/defaults/'s paths: tree) that an operator can't act on. It
  now names the operator-facing artifact: the built-in defaults bundle,
  exportable/overridable as a root .zddc.zip via `zddc-server show-defaults`.

browse — directory listing tool

Generic file browser for any directory. Designed to work with ZDDC archives but useful for any folder. Single-file HTML, no install.

How it's used

Two modes, auto-detected at page load:

  1. Online (zddc-server backed). When this HTML is served by zddc-server at a folder URL — which it is by default for any directory under ZDDC_ROOT that doesn't have an index.html — the JS queries the same URL with Accept: application/json to load the directory's listing and renders it as a sortable, filterable table.

  2. Local (FileSystemAccessAPI). Click "Select Directory" in the header to pick any folder on your computer. Works in Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, etc.). No server required; the directory is read directly from disk.

What it does

  • Lists files and folders with name, size, type (extension), and modified date.
  • Click a folder to expand inline. Children load lazily on first expand.
  • Click a column header to sort by that column. Click again to reverse.
  • Type in the filter to narrow to entries whose name contains the substring.
  • Click any file to open it in a new tab — for server-backed pages, this routes through zddc-server's normal handler (so an .archive redirect, an apps cascade override, etc. all work as expected).

Design notes

  • No ZDDC-specific filtering. This tool is intentionally domain-agnostic. The companion archive tool layers ZDDC parsing (project / status / revision filters, tracking-number resolution) on top of the same listing API. Use archive when you want ZDDC semantics; use browse when you just want to see what's in a folder.
  • Default at directory URLs. zddc-server's directory.go serves the embedded browse.html bytes for any directory request with Accept: text/html and no index.html present. This means a user navigating to any folder under ZDDC_ROOT gets a usable browser without anyone having to drop a file into the archive.
  • Apps cascade override. Like every other ZDDC tool, the served browse.html can be overridden per-folder via a .zddc apps: entry. The default is the embedded copy from the binary; operators can pin a specific version or URL if they want.
